The Big Play For MOBA On Xbox One

With Smite and Gigantic both moving to Xbox One (and with a one-time account copy on Smite and cross-platform account parity on Gigantic), third-person, shooterlike action-MOBAs (Multiplayer Online Battle Arenas) are making a big move into the console space. Generally the term is used when we’re talking about League of Legends, Dota 2, Heroes of the Storm, or another isometric title that’s firmly embedded in the genre’s RTS roots, but these particular titles lend themselves to console play incredibly well and do quite a few things to distance themselves from the very definition of what’s come to be understood as a MOBA.
